Driving down the street one day, something changed for new St. Luke’s of the Mountains Pastor Rev. Robert Holman. “Circumstances aligned themselves and I found myself praying to Jesus. I never prayed to Jesus before. I prayed to God,” he said. “There was a problem with my employment, it bothered me to no end, and I just said ‘Jesus, you have to make sure things are going to be OK. And then everything changed, and I wasn’t worried anymore. I was no longer concerned, no longer worried.

KIMBERLIE ZAKARIAN Do you ever struggle with secret temptations? We all do. Often, we try to hide these thoughts or habits from our Lord, even though we understand that he knows all and sees all. Jesus empathizes with our temptations because he himself was tempted. The book of Matthew depicts our Lord's temptation in three areas: an appeal to his flesh (hunger), an appeal to presumption (a careless attitude toward grace), and an appeal to idolatry (pursuit of something greater than Christ's life)

Hundreds of congregants packed into St. Kevork Armenian Apostolic Church on Tuesday to celebrate Christmas with the blessing of the water. A holy cross that symbolizes Jesus was dipped in holy water and “Holy Muron,” or oil, during the ceremony. The holy oil was boiled and blessed in Armenia and sent to Glendale for Tuesday’s ceremony, Deacon Tigran Garibjanyan said. “It is about clearing us from our sins, and we are also feeling Jesus coming into us,” Garibjanyan said.

Palm Sunday is approaching. As I reflect on the last days of Jesus? earthly life, I am amazed at how He suffered, as each of us do, with human feelings and circumstances. I see that He experienced monetary need (Matthew 21:2); anger (vs. 12); sleepiness (vs. 17); hunger (vs. 18); faith (vs. 19-21); doubt from others (vs. 23); and utter rejection (vs. 45). He endured the mortal feelings each of us has suffered at one time or another, but in greater magnitude than any of us have.

Hundreds of parishioners gathered inside St. Mary’s Armenian Apostolic Church Wednesday morning to celebrate Armenian Christmas. Many Armenian families Tuesday night honored the theophany — the birth of Jesus, his revelation to mankind and his baptism — by sharing a meal and staying indoors for the holy Christmas eve or going to church, said Hagop Tchagaspanian, the church’s Board of Trustees chairman. “The existence of two accepted dates for celebrating Christmas, Dec. 25 and Jan. 6, does not reflect a doctrinal issue,” he said.

Re: “ Has the economy damaged the work ethic? ” In Theory, April 28: Once again I'm amazed that the Rev. Bryan Griem can call himself a Christian. I thought Christianity was about love, empathy, compassion and care for those who are suffering, hurt and less fortunate. Instead we get Griem's Christianity of selfishness and greed when he states,” I tend mine and I reap” or “we Protestants.” He disdains the immigrant and unemployed. To him, it's us against them. What a very sad theology, which is completely opposite of what Jesus taught.

In the March 13 Community Forum of the News-Press, we were surprised to find a reader taking issue with one of my sermon titles. Apparently, Dean Briggs objected to even considering the issue of "What Happens to People Who Have Never Heard of Jesus." In response, he asked rather sarcastically what happens to people who never heard of Gandhi, Buddha, Mozart, Stevie Ray Vaughn or baklava. At our 5-month-old baby church, the Church at Angeles Crest, we are very serious about Jesus, so I won't respond in kind to Mr. Briggs.

Even after a move to the Santa Clarita Valley made the job much more difficult to pull off, Jesus Osuna said he wasn't ready to throw in the towel as Glendale High baseball coach. "I didn't want to be another statistic," Osuna said in reference to the coaches who served one- or two-year stints preceding him. "The good thing is, I got an opportunity to coach each player from when they were freshmen. I wanted to be there for their senior year, so I made an attempt to come back for [2012]

Jesus Christ sits as the focus of the bronze sculpture titled “Come Unto Me.” “He set the example of health ministry that we have dedicated ourselves to,” said Kevin Roberts, president of the hospital. Designed by Victor Issa, a 57-year-old artist based in Loveland, Colo., the entire scene, with children, women and dogs, took him more than four years to craft.

I am learning in life to accept pain as something I will learn from. I realize that most of us are familiar with pain. And as Christians, we are familiar with the fact that Jesus suffered just as we do. Scripture tells us so. Yet, he was without sin — differentiating Jesus (God) from us (humans). When I think of Jesus’ pain, I often reflect upon his physical suffering on the cross and the fact that he was not believed to be the Messiah by so many. But sometimes I honestly think that some minor issue of an emotional nature that I am experiencing may not be familiar to Jesus, that Jesus may not have actually experienced that particular thing.

This year, perhaps more so than in any other in recent memory, people can relate to the desperation of Mary and Joseph as they searched frantically for shelter on the eve of Jesus' birth. No assets, poor, and completely dependent on the generosity of others, they came to rest in a stable, beaten back by the harsh realities of even the small town of Bethlehem. As the economy continues to weigh heavily on households — lost jobs, cut hours, lost health insurance — and with little hope for improvement in the near term, more and more people have had to settle into their own stables and accept the humility and frustrations that come with it. It's the range of impact that makes it all so staggering.

Christ was born into this world as an infant who grew into a boy and then a man. He came to save human beings and in the process mystified all, before and after his birth, and then after his death. This mystery began with Mary, then Joseph, and spread to other family members. From there, news of Christ's birth and life perplexed even the Jews — the very people Jesus called his own. Jesus' birth, life and death were very controversial. Have you ever wondered what Mary must have thought, felt and marveled about when an angel visited her and told her she was pregnant?
